SYNOPSIS
use Template;
use Template::Provider::FromDATA;
# Create the provider
my $provider = Template::Provider::FromDATA->new( {
CLASSES => __PACKAGE__
} );
# Add the provider to the config
my $template = Template->new( {
# ...
LOAD_TEMPLATES => [ $provider ]
} );
# Render a template
$template->process( 'mytemplate', { bar => 'Bar' } );
# ...and now the templates
__DATA__
__mytemplate__
Foo [% bar %]
__myothertemplate__
Baz, [% qux %]?
DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to store your templates inline with your code in
the "__DATA__" section. It will search any number of classes specified.
CAVEAT
If you have two templates with the same name, this module will not
understand the difference, it will simply return the first one found. If
you wish, you can specify a fully qualified template name by prefixing
the template with the module name (using "-" instead of "::" as a
namespace separator), adding a "/" to separate the module name from the
template name.
$template->process( 'My-Templates/mytemplate', { bar => 'Bar' } );
INSTALLATION
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
METHODS
new( \%OPTIONS )
Create a new instance of the provider. You can specify a list of classes
to be searched for templates via the "CLASSES" option. By omitting this
option it will search "main".
# defaults to 'main'
$provider = Template::Provider::FromDATA->new;
# look for templates in 'Foo'
$provider = Template::Provider::FromDATA->new( {
CLASSES => 'Foo'
} );
# look for templates in 'Foo::Bar' and 'Foo::Baz'
$provider = Template::Provider::FromDATA->new( {
CLASSES => [ 'Foo::Bar', 'Foo::Baz' ]
} );
By default, template data is lazy-loaded as they it is requested. If you
wish to load up all template data upon initializtion, you can use the
"PRELOAD" option.
$provider = Template::Provider::FromDATA->new( {
PRELOAD => 1
} );
_init( \%OPTIONS )
A subclassed method to handle the options passed to "new()".
fetch( $name )
This is a subclassed method that will load a template via "_fetch()" if
a non-reference argument is passed.
_load( $name )
Loads the template via the "get_file()" sub and sets some cache
information.
get_file( $class, $template )
This method searches through $class for a template named $template.
Returns the contents on success, undef on failure.
This function was mostly borrowed from Catalyst::Helper's "get_file"
function.
ACCESSORS
classes
An arrayref of the class names containing our templates.
cache
A hashref of file and template data.
